This was indirectly implemented for Lenny (or maybe even earlier): tzsetup
depends on localechooser, so users get asked to select a country before
that point.
However, I think it's time to just include localechooser in the s390
initrds so that the selected country can also be used as a default for
choose-mirror.
However, it would be best to run localechooser *after* network-console, so
that users can select the country using the newt frontend (after
connecting over ssh) instead of the text frontend. This means that for
s390 the menu item number needs to be set to 2110 instead of 1000.
I've prepared changes for both localechooser and d-i itself to implement
this.
